    • New Jersey City University

      May 2023 - now

      Selected for guiding fellow research students based on research excellence and leadership during prior experience. Focused on developing lesson plans for teaching research interns how to perform a variety of microbiology assays, conduct experiments, and communicate science. Taught four organic chemistry sessions per week. Created and executed lesson plans tailored to ensure student engagement and content understanding. Promoted peer-to-peer learning through facilitation strategies. I managed administrative duties including event planning and execution, budgeting, filing maintenance requests, registering incident reports, and coordinating room transfers. I also helped develop a positive living environment for residents by frequently resolving conflicts. I handled and analyzed fungi, gram-positive, and gram-negative bacteria to explore their reaction to a potential new phytotherapeutic antimicrobial/antibiofilm compound. I performed advanced microbiology experiments and conducted thorough data analysis to assess the effectiveness and trends of two different compounds against these microorganisms. This work aimed to contribute to the discovery and development of a novel and accessible antimicrobial/antibiofilm compound.
